Existing law requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to establish a local assistance grant program for fire prevention activities, defined to include grazing activities, and home hardening education activities. Under existing law, eligible grant activities include public education outreach activities, as provided. Under existing law, the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection may, until January 1, 2024, authorize advance payments from a grant program award, not to exceed 25% of the total grant award, except as specified. This bill would change the definition of fire prevention activities to include prescribed grazing, as defined. The bill would expand allowable public education outreach activities to include training on prescribed grazing. The bill would also indefinitely extend the director's authority to authorize advance payments from a grant program award, as provided, and conform a cross-reference to existing law.
